Transcranial magnetic stimulation for the treatment of depression: feasibility and results under naturalistic conditions: a retrospective analysis.
Article in European archives of psychiatry and clinical neuroscience, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
An increasing number of controlled studies strongly support an antidepressant effect of high-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) over the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex. However, these data come from highly selected study populations. Whether rTMS is a feasible therapeutic tool for the treatment of depression under naturalistic condition has not yet been addressed. Here, we report results from 232 depressive patients [aged 20-76 years, baseline Hamilton Depression Rating Score (HDRS-21) 24.0 ± 7.3] treated with rTMS add-on to continued psychopharmacological treatment in a naturalistic clinical setting. Two thousand stimuli of 20-Hz rTMS were applied daily over the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex with an intensity of 110% of motor threshold. Treatment duration was individually planned and varied between 10 and 20 sessions. In average, patients received 13 ± 6.1 rTMS sessions. In 90% of the cases, treatment was terminated regularly. No severe side effects were observed. Only four patients stopped rTMS treatment because of side effects. Ratings with the HDRS-21 before and after treatment were available in 130 patients. The average improvement of the HDRS-21 in this subsample was 9.0 ± 9.2 points. Fifty-three patients had an improvement of 50% or more. These results document that rTMS is feasible, safe and well tolerated under naturalistic conditions.
